CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WCHS) — TUESDAY 7 P.M. UPDATE

Storms with torrential rain are moving out of our area and into Virginia.

Some leftover lighter rains are still moving through east of the Ohio River but flood waters are receding in most locations and roads are reopening.

More than 4 inches of rain fell on the southeast side of Huntington between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. which flooded and closed numerous roads in the city. Most of those roadways are reopening now.

Fortunately much less rain fell in the Cabin Creek, Sharon and Dawes area and a flash flood warning there has expired.

Expect fog to develop overnight in the wake of a cold front that will pass through.

TUESDAY: 3:35 P.M. UPDATE:

Multiple flash flood warnings are currently in effect, especially across Central West Virginia. These include the cities of Charleston and Huntington.

Between 1-to-3 inches of rain has fallen in this zone since noon with another heavy round of rain moving across Huntington and heading eastward into areas already hit with one round of heavy rain.

Flash flooding of streams and creeks is likely in some locations through the afternoon into the early evening.

The heaviest activity looks to move out of the area by 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.

MONDAY EVENING UPDATE:

Monday marked the 10th straight 90+ degree day in Charleston and Huntington.

That is the longest 90-degree streak since 2012, right around the time of the derecho that struck the region. It's also the longest 90-degree streak in June since 1984.

Last summer (which featured many 90-degree days) the longest streak was eight days.

We won't make it to 11 straight thanks to an approaching cold front that will bring numerous showers and storms to the area Tuesday along with more clouds. That will hold temps in the 80s and when under a downpour you'll be in the 70s.

Storms Monday were mostly near and west of the Ohio River and northern and southeastern West Virginia.

Many didn't see anything but expect the coverage to storms to be much greater Tuesday as that front approaches.

In fact, storms can get going before noon and with a couple of rounds likely into the early evening before settling down, the possibility for localized flash flooding exists.

Some locations could see two to three inches of rain although where the heaviest storms setup remains to be seen.

A couple of storms could also produce pockets of strong wind gusts. As a result, a Weather Alert Day is issued for Tuesday.

Once this front crosses, humidity will ease down and we'll enjoy an extended stretch of dry weather that will last through the rest of the week and into the July 4th weekend.

That's great news for the many events happening in the region, including the Ripley festivities, the Charleston Sternwheel Regatta and Summer Motion in Ashland.

Temps will initially hold in the 80s to 90 through Friday, but then climb into the mid 90s for Saturday and Sunday.

Make sure to take breaks out of the sun and drink plenty of water.
